These writings have been caught in the ladder of my throat for years. They have stumbled in obscurity, tumbled with insecurity, illuminated the path of curiosity for many creatives and now they are making light into this world as a way for me to define presence, criticality and engagement more holistically.

The words, reflections, exposés and travelogues are portals to other ways of being, understanding and coming to terms with our post-colonial contexts, inherent messiness and transformation.

How are these actions impacting community-based organisations and grassroots initiatives that have historically engaged in change-making work in their locales? Are there suﬃcient incubation projects accommodating habitat creation, ecological education, or invasive species management?
